What's the points of havng a UK 'singles' charts which has been broken by the OCC? Alex Warren's Ordinary had 56,289 'sales' last week but the OCC downgraded it to 28,702 because of ACR, thus allowing S.Carpenter to take the top slot. No wonder the chart is irrelevant.
One of their best songs. Cracking unpredictable station. Check it out.

If @BritishGas tell you that you need a powerflush at approx £1k+, go to a reputable plumber, most times it's not needed. Bolier prob?, they will always try and sell you a new boiler at £4+. Ignore them. My plumber just changed a pump at £100, all works fine. They are rip offs.

Word of warning to anyone who has the misfortune to use @BritishGas, get a proper plumber to give you quote/2nd opinion. Twice in a month they cut off our supply citing danger and tried to sell me a new boiler. Not needed, 1 job done 1.5k cheaper, the other just £200. #ripoff

so sad to learn of the loss of my friend and colleague and former Radio 2 newsreader and voice of Eurovision Colin Berry. We always had some great conversations when we managed to catch up. My thoughts are with his family. Farewell my friend. RIP

It also doesn't help that a lot of youngsters don't have a musical 'culture' compared to earlier generations. While they are more open to a wide depth of music, it leads to them not engaging with it in a traditional way. 1/2

I don't know any young person who cares about the charts or see them as relevant/important. This is down to the demise of music programming on TV (we only have 'Later...' left & its well past it's prime) & how people consume TV in general. If the kids don't care the charts suffer

When DJs were proper DJs and not some stage or TV celebrity with no idea about radio presentation..
